you can use any you wish or none if your memory good enough

but I use these three the most coppercoins.com, doubleddie.com briansvarietycoins.com and varietyvista.com

check the hints to not go off to far

denomination, mint, and one extra tip are given ahead of time

The pictures in addition to the hints should make for fun hunt, but should not to be too crazy to make it annoying
